I don’t think we’ve seen the last of his mentor since who would teach Oliver how to use a bow and arrow, and hand-to-hand fighting. I think someone could learn how to be an expert archer if they were stuck on an island, but the fighting skills Queen possesses would need some sort of guidance. I missed this week’s episode, but caught up with it since it was recorded on my Hopper from DISH. The huge amount of hard drive space on my DVR helps me keep up with shows when I work nights at DISH. I like the flashbacks, but Oliver has a long way to go on the island before we recognize him as the Green Arrow.

We need to learn a lot more about why Deathstroke and the bad guys are on the island. There is a ton more story to tell there.

why can't laurel and oliver have a relationship? they kiss and then she says it will never work? why? if she was still mad about him cheating on her with her sister, she would not be able to stand to be around him. the amount of time they spend together, they should be banging boots by now.

Was this the first time we have seen Arrow actually shoot someone dead on an episode? wish they had the balls to actually show it to us on camera.

The shows major setback is the network, the CW it reeks of being a typical show for that network at times.
What is intriguing about the show is the structure. Like the Maltese Falcon who's formal problem is who killed Spade's partner, this shows premise of the (super) hero going after the bad guys is secondary to revealing the character (and evolution) of Arrow/Oliver and his relationship to the others around him.
